Constructed with 43% Sea Island cotton and 7% Supima cotton (50% cotton total) against a nylon\/spandex carrier, the garment provides clinically indicated graduated compression for chronic venous insufficiency (CEAP C2–C4), lymphoedema maintenance phase management, DVT prophylaxis, and post-operative oedema management, while the thermoregulating cotton composition addresses patient compliance challenges in Singapore's tropical climate. Medical device registration under Singapore HSA Health Products (Medical Devices) Regulations 2010 applies; Class A or B classification depending on therapeutic claim scope.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SIGVARIS Premium Cotton 222 Class 2 Open Toe Thigh High compression stocking delivers 23–32 mmHg graduated compression across the full length of the lower limb, from the distal ankle to the proximal thigh. Graduated compression—highest at the ankle, progressively reducing toward the thigh—provides the mechanical venous return force that augments the calf muscle pump, reduces ambulatory venous pressure in the superficial and deep venous systems, and decreases capillary filtration pressure responsible for peripheral oedema. Class 2 (23–32 mmHg) represents the moderate-strength therapeutic tier of the international compression classification system, with a well-established evidence base across chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) stages C2–C4 per the CEAP clinical classification, lymphoedema maintenance, and post-thrombotic syndrome management. The open-toe design permits clinical monitoring of distal perfusion and accommodates patients with toe deformities or altered digital sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe garment's 50% cotton composition (43% Sea Island cotton + 7% Supima cotton) provides clinically meaningful thermoregulatory advantage over synthetic-only compression garments in equatorial climates. Sea Island cotton fibres absorb excess moisture and release it via evaporative cooling, reducing the thermal load at the skin-garment interface during Singapore's ambient temperatures of 26–32°C and relative humidity of 70–90%. Reduced thermal discomfort is a documented driver of improved compression therapy adherence, a critical determinant of long-term clinical outcomes in CVI and lymphoedema management. The garment's pressure accuracy is verified by independent testing to RAL-GZ 387\/1 standards at the Hohenstein Institute, a Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS)-accredited testing laboratory, ensuring consistent therapeutic pressure delivery across production batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background: #f0f0f0; text-align: left;\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background: #f0f0f0; text-align: left;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIGVARIS Group (Switzerland)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCotton 222 – Premium Cotton Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThigh High, Open Toe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 2: 23–32 mmHg (graduated, ankle-to-thigh)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre Composition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43% Sea Island Cotton, 39% Nylon, 11% Spandex (elastane), 7% Supima Cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCotton Contact Layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% cotton against skin (inner layer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToe Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen toe (permits distal perfusion monitoring; accommodates digit deformity)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE Marking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes – EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017\/745\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuality Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRAL-GZ 387\/1 (Medical Compression Hosiery Quality Assurance); independently verified by Hohenstein Institute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturing Quality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO 13485:2016 (Medical Devices Quality Management System)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Testing Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCEN 15831 \/ RAL-GZ 387\/1 pressure measurement methodology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-sterile (external use)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegulatory – Singapore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedical device; registration under HSA Health Products (Medical Devices) Regulations 2010; Class A or B depending on therapeutic claim; CE marking supports abridged evaluation pathway\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Lifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12–18 months with proper care (daily washing, air drying)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetail Price (Singapore)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSGD $175.61 per pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications and Key Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — CEAP C2–C4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primary clinical indication per the International Consensus Statement on Compression Therapy.

Class 1 (18–21 mmHg) is indicated for mild varicosity (CEAP C1–C2), leg fatigue, and prophylactic use in low-risk patients. Class 2 (23–32 mmHg) is indicated for CVI stages C2–C4, symptomatic oedema, lymphoedema maintenance, and post-thrombotic syndrome. Absolute contraindications for compression therapy include severe peripheral arterial disease (ABPI \u0026lt;0.6); healthcare professionals should perform ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) measurement before prescribing Class 2 or above in patients with known or suspected arterial insufficiency. Clinical prescribing guidance is available from the Singapore Venous Disease Group and the Wound Care Association of Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How should patients with sensitive skin or dermatitis be fitted with cotton compression garments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The SIGVARIS Cotton 222 series is specifically indicated for patients with skin sensitivity, including those with contact dermatitis, atopic skin, or prior sensitisation to synthetic-only compression garments. The 100% cotton inner contact layer eliminates synthetic fibre friction on sensitised skin. Patients with active dermatitis, weeping wound areas, or significant oedema-related skin breakdown should receive pre-prescribing dermatological assessment; a flat-knit custom-fabricated garment may be preferred if standard round-knit sizing cannot achieve adequate fit without skin pressure gradients at skin fold areas. Donning gloves are recommended to prevent snagging and to maintain skin hygiene during application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the correct technique and timing for applying a thigh-high compression stocking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Apply the stocking in the morning before rising, while limb oedema is at its minimum. Invert the garment to the heel cup, insert the foot positioning the heel correctly, then progressively unfold upward using smooth upward rolling motions — avoid bunching or twisting. Donning aids (stocking butler frame or silk donning glove) reduce mechanical stress on the garment and decrease patient effort, improving compliance in elderly or arthritic patients. The silicone top band should be positioned 2 finger-widths below the gluteal fold. All compression creases must be smoothed to ensure even pressure distribution; any persistent fold creates a localised high-pressure point that may cause tissue damage. Patients with limited hand strength or dexterity should be assessed for donning aid prescription. SIGVARIS Donning Aids (including the SIM-SLIDE range stocked at EMIS Singapore) are compatible with this garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does Singapore HSA regulate medical compression stockings, and what documentation should clinics request from suppliers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Under Singapore's Health Products (Medical Devices) Regulations 2010, medical compression stockings claiming therapeutic effects (CVI treatment, DVT prevention) are classified as medical devices requiring HSA registration. Class A devices undergo a registration process via HSA's online portal; CE-marked devices from jurisdictions with established regulatory frameworks (EU, US, Canada, Australia, Japan) may be eligible for the abridged evaluation pathway. Clinics and hospitals procuring compression garments should request from the supplier: (1) HSA registration certificate or registration number from the Singapore Medical Device Register (SMDR); (2) CE certificate and technical file reference; (3) RAL-GZ 387\/1 compliance documentation; (4) ISO 13485 quality management certificate. EMIS Singapore (emis.asia) supplies SIGVARIS products as an authorised distributor; HSA registration documentation is available upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What care instructions maximise garment longevity and maintain therapeutic compression properties?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Wash daily in lukewarm water (maximum 40°C) using a mild detergent, either by hand or in a machine on a gentle cycle using a laundry net. Fabric softener must not be used — it degrades elastane fibre cross-links and reduces compression properties over time. Air-dry flat or hanging; do not tumble dry, iron, or expose to direct heat sources or prolonged direct sunlight, all of which degrade spandex elasticity. Inspect monthly for loss of elasticity, pilling, or reduced compression (garment feels looser than initial fit). Replace every 12–18 months under normal therapeutic wear conditions. Patients should ideally own two pairs to allow daily rotation, permitting thorough drying between uses — particularly important in Singapore's humid climate where inadequate drying promotes fibre degradation and bacterial growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is SIGVARIS Premium Cotton Compression Apparels 222 Class 2 Open Toe Thigh used for?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"SIGVARIS Premium Cotton Compression Apparels 222 Class 2 Open Toe Thigh is a graduated compression garment supplied by EMIS+ (emis.asia).

It is inserted directly under the foot and acts as a friction-reducing bridge, making it faster for patients with moderate dexterity. Frame donners remain preferred for patients with severe upper-limb immobility requiring a caregiver-free solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can the SIM-SLIDE be used with Class 3 compression garments (30–40 mmHg)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The SIM-SLIDE is validated for Class 1 (15–21 mmHg) and Class 2 (23–32 mmHg) stockings. High-compression Class 3 garments require greater donning force; clinical practice recommends a double-rubber glove technique or doffing strap system for this compression class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often should the SIM-SLIDE be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: There is no fixed replacement interval.
